Question a lot of folks have come to announcer from nbc news, depend on uber this is today with Savannah Guthrie and hoda kotb live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. I know the company was about to hi, everybody. Good morning. Be profitable for the first time by the end of the year welcome to today, it is friday morning. Were glad to have you with us. Good morning, savannah. Were going to start off with how do you convince people now tensions boiling over in minneapolis and beyond over the that its safe, that they should get in a confined space with a stranger, convincing drivers and customers . Death of george floyd. It has been another difficult absolutely. Night, even at this early hour of the morning. Its a twoway street. For us, we have redesigned the it is a very volatile scene experience from top to bottom there. Police and the National Guard patrolling the streets. With safety in mind. Our drivers and our riders have to wear masks. For example, we are rolling out Technology Feature for drivers where the drivers actually have to take selfie multiple buildings on fire. You see it right there. We have Machine Learning after a night of protests filled algorithms, understanding with violence, even rioting, much of the anger aimed at the whether that driver is actually Police Precinct of the officers involved in George Floyds death who have been fired but no criminal charges yet. Wearing a mask or saying that the demonstrations fanning out to all corners of the country, cities like new york, they are wearing a mask. Louisville, denver, los angeles, if a driver sees a rider who is not wearing a mask, they can cancel the trip, if they feel and many others, savannah. Unsafe as well ena moment, hoda, we are weve invested millions in ppe going talk to one of the city weve secured 23 Million Masks Council Members in minneapolis but first lets get right to and are distributing them to our nbcs Gabe Gutierrez there on the ground for us. Gabe, good morning. Drivers as well. So you know, getting out of the tell us about the night. House, starting to move again is going to feel funny, and it may savannah, good morning. Feel unsafe. This was a powder keg that were doing our part to make it exploded overnight. As safe as possible, and then behind me one of the many buildings that are on fire right were also including twoway now. Many of the protesters here are livid that no charges have been filed against the officers involved in the death of george accountability the rider and driver essentially rate each other. To the extent they see behavior thats unsafe, well instantly floyd. Know about it and be able to do now, the National Guard and state police are here trying to keep the peace, but today there are real questions about whether this chaos will keep escalating. This morning minneapolis is something about it. Going longterm, so much about our society has changed. We dont know yet whether its reeling, tensions running high in a city on edge. A third night of protest again turning violent, demonstrators permanent. Clashing with police. Buildings, including this evacuated Police Precinct youre talking about companies who may start working from home burning. Exclusively or in a much more protesters cheering as it went significant way. People not going to doing the work travel, uber or trips to the airport, things like that, up in flames. The symbolism of a building or to concerts cannot outweigh the importance of life, of our officers, or the do you worry about this business public. Longterm being able to survive . We could not risk serious injury i think that the focus right to anyone. Now, honestly, is shortterm and tomorrow how can we build the safest service we k longterm will take care of itself its a scene of utter chaos. Right now this fire is raging out of control and smoke is billowing into the air, can be scene for miles. The rioti we think we can make the right the rioting a dramatic escalation for more peaceful adjustments and actually in certain places, like hong kong, protests early in the day. To tear down our city like this, whats this proving . Who is more advanced in terms of their response and in terms of people supposed to protect testing masks, et cetera, were seeing the business come back and serve us sit up and murder even sometimes close to prior us in cold blood. In south minneapolis and saint paul, looters ransacked levels people are getting back to work, even during what you call Party Businesses in louisville, kentucky, seven people were shot, and a rally hours, people going out to against Police Brutality restaurants. Life begins anew while nationwide from chicago to while i dont expect behavior to where we were previously unless new york to denver, theres mounting outrage over the death theres a vaccine or something of 46yearold george floyd and very big happens, i do think that people, behaviors and the lack of criminal charges people revert to normal. They are going to be more against the four officers involved careful. They are going to wear masks we are going to have cleaning supplies with it. I cant breathe. This new video from a different angle shows two other officers not seen before side by side next to officer Derek Chauvin who knelt on floyds neck for several minutes overnight in a tweet President Trump suggesting he might send in the short few moments we have left, you wrote a letter to the military in to assume control. Earlier he called for expedited the white house asking that uber drivers be included in the stimulus package that gave federal investigation. Certain things will change i do think business will come back, if life comes back into attorney general, fbi and the city, then uber will be back along with it. In the short few moments we have left, you wrote a letter to attorney general to take a strong look and see what went the white house asking that uber on. All four officers have been drivers be included in the stimulus package that gave fired. Relief it did, by the way, include drivers and gig workers. One of the reasons they werent there is other evidence that do not support a criminal included was they werent considered full time by uber do you have a change of heart about that charge. Reporter but patience has i know its not your Business Model but how do you think about it i think independent work should come with social protections, earning protections, health protection, already worn thin. We feel as if there was a knee on all of our collective necks. This the damage from the air. The governor has now activated accident protection, et cetera that is a change from where weve come from, and we need to work with lawmakers, regulators to allow that to happen. Theres no reason why the National Guard. We want justice were mad. Im mad. His employer and landlord, said floyd lost his job because of the coronavirus pandemic. Hes like a brother to me and didnt deserve to die that way. Reporter this morning south independent work shouldnt come with respect and shouldnt come minneapolis is wondering when the violence will end. Throughout most of the night there was no Police Presence here, but that has obviously changed. Protesters had actually cut off access to some parts of this area so firefighters couldnt h. Now police has set up a make it in here. Now police set up a perimeter its keeping protesters outside as well as the media here is what happened live on television on cnn a short time ago. Im sorry youre under arrest. Do you mind telling me why im under arrest, sir . Ation herw why am i under arrest, sir certainly a very fluid situation here right now were keeping safe with our security team. But as you can see behind me, a huge show of force right now from police on the scene as daybreak, we really start to see for the first time the damage here it is extensive. Throughout most of the night, again, it was chaos here multiple buildings on fire now you see emergency crews here trying to douse the flames and keep those fires from spreading. Hoda, there are real questions here about what happens next. What a scene, gabe, thank you. We are joined by Jeremiah Ellison, member of city council. Councilman ellison, good morning to you i want to get to those protests in a second. At the heart of those protests, the rage, is about the fact that no one has been arrested in this case the mayor has basically called it a murder and is asking why that hasnt happened a lot of people, obviously, have seen the tape of what happened here is what the county attorney said he said that there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge. Are you privy to what that other evidence may be . No, i think the statement is vague. I wish the District Attorney would be more specific more importantly, i wish the District Attorney would watch the tape, see whats evident on the tape as far as the fact that four officers murdered mr. Floyd and make the arrest. Absent the charges, absent the charges, council member, how do you calm a city you know, i think we had a great opportunity on the first night to respond differently when it came to the situation. For those of us who kind of come from more activist backgrounds, who have participated in mass protests before, you can kind of see where a crowd is going i felt like this was really preventible. Unfortunately i think that conventional wisdom of force won out, and that was the strategy we pursued i think that strategy has proven to be an unmitigated failure. You know what, it was interesting yesterday on our air craig interviewed one of George Floyds friends, nba great Steven Jackson he was asked about what those protests and what george would have thought he said he would have welcomed the support but basically said he didnt like that kind of violence in the streets. That wasnt, he said, what george floyd would have wanted. I think one of the dynamics when you look at a protest like that is really the protest is about the death of a person and not always necessarily what the person would have wanted, right . I imagine that nobody would want to see the kind of devastation that we are experiencing here in minneapolis. But what people are responding to is not just the death of mr. Floyd but also jamar clark, people who have been killed in the various Police Departments in the metro area and whose deaths have largely gone unrecognized as crimes. Just pull out your tea leaves for one second and just tell me finally where you think we will be one week from today. You know, all i can do is speculate. I hope that the District Attorney is able to get his act together and make the arrest of the four officers who participated in the murder, and i hope that the crowd i hope that the protesters begin to recede and go home i understand the rage. It is shocking to see the level of destruction thats occurred i just hope that we can keep as many people as safe as possible and begin on the road to justice. Minneapolis city councilman Jeremiah Ellison councilman, thank you so much. We appreciate your time. Savannah, over to you. I think thats really what the protesters are calling for. All right minneapolis city councilman Jeremiah Ellison councilman, thank you so much. We appreciate your time. Savannah, over to you. Hoda, also overnight a tweet about the situation unfolding in minneapolis from President Trump led twitter to flag it for violating the companys rules against glorifying violence. This happened hours after the president moved to crack down on twitter. Nbcs White House Correspondent Peter Alexander has more on this back and forth hey, peter, good morning. Good morning to you President Trump did take to twitter other than to weigh in on this violence in minneapolis calling the protesters thugs and warning that looters could be shot twitter, that has been locked in that bitter back and forth with the president this week quickly flagged one of those tweets, as you noted, blocking it from being liked, saying the president s words violated the Company Rules agains promoting violence overnight the president making his position clear writing these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd, and i wont let that happen.

Jacob frey calling him week saying he should get his act together or i will call the s i responsibility for you National Guard the mayor responded overnight.

Across the country, it is a patchwork of reopenings and improvised regulations you cant just get in an rv and park it anywhere reservations are required at most places you want to go even if you do get reservation, there are new rules to follow. No visitors, no playground, no bathrooms. Camping is limited to families or households you typically would be hanging out with. Well take it an association say only 18 of travelers feel safe flying and only 18 feel safe at a hotel. Maybe thats why people are buying and renting rvs in big numbers. It felt like the right first step to returning to travel. View rvs and boating as fun, safe ways. Rv rentals are twice what they are last summer while mo in advance another said half their bookings are now last minute lots of people want to rent an rv and they want to do it now. I love that we could bring our own bedding from our house and dont have to worry about somebody else cleaning it or touching it during this time of social distancing. That is good news for rv resorts. All of our holidays are already booked up for the summer. Meanwhile ill have to be satisfied with just hearing about the reynolds getaway by phone from my basement tell me, please, whats it going to be like on the beach. Paint me a picture here. Mostly just watch the kids build sand castles and run into the water. Just relax and not be in our house or backyard. Exactly. You guys, you know, these are amazing machines some people are using them, of course, for more than just fun an estimated 1 million americans treat an rv as a primary residence. In tough Economic Times people are forced to make that choice they can be used for other things as well theres even an rv for mds facebook page, pairing peopl with first responders, doctors and nurses who need a place to shelter away from their families a lot of people looking at rvs for a lot of reasons. That is super cool. Jake, i was wondering, do you need like a special drivers license if youre going to rent one of those, or do you use your regular one. Youre going to need one for one of the big selfcontained ones have you to have a special license for that to be able to tow one around or drive one of those camper vans, ive been sitting in my basement going oh, camper van, i would take a camper van. Those you can get in and pull right away, which is the dream. I would love to do it lets do a road trip later this summer, ladies. Ill meet you in the middle of the country somewhere. I think a road trip would be a blast. Take the show on the way. Ive been wanting to put us all in the winnebago for a long time. Ive been begging to do that. Craig, you and i did that, remember i do.

A third night of outrage over the death of george floyd led to violence, looting, and the burning of a Minneapolis Police building protests have also spread to other major cities around the country. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez joins us now. He had a long night watching protests unfold. Gabe, good morning. Reporter savannah, good morning. This was a powder keg and it exploded overnight take a look behind me. This is one of many buildings on fire authorities are trying to douse the flames again, many buildings in this area went up in flames overnight and now the National Guard and state police are here trying to set up a perimeter so overnight officers were not here because many of the protesters blocked off Access Points here and prevented firefighters from arriving on the scene. As you can see, there are new flames, more billowing smoke in the distance these state patrol officers are trying to keep the peace many of the protesters are furious over the death of george floyd and the four officers involved had not faced charges yet. Now, the question is, will this violence escalate . Overnight a city on fire protesters swarming the streets of minneapolis, clashing with police and forcing their way into the precinct before the evacuated building erupted into flames. The symbolism of a building cannot outweigh the importance of life, of our officers or the public we could not risk serious injury to anyone. Its a scene of utter chaos the fire is raging out of control. The billowing smoke can be seen for miles, the governor calling the National Guard shop owners trying to protect their business from looters. The outrage mounting across the country over 46yearold george floyd and the lack of charges against the four officers involved this new video showing a different angle of mondays ebb counter between floyd and police two other officers not seen before side by side next to officer Derek Chauvin who knelt on floyds next. All four officers have been fired, invoking fifth amendment rights President Trump suggesting he might send the military in to assume control earlier he called for an expedited federal investigation. Investigation and attorney general to take a very strong look and see what went on. The county attorney who is facing growing pressure to charge them is warning its not a clearcut case. We are going to investigate it as expeditiously, thoroughly and completely as justice demands. Sometimes that takes a little time and we ask people to be patient. We have to do this right. Reporter but patience has already worn thin. We feel as if there was a knee on all of our collective necks. Overnight floyds brother ch watching the chaos unfold. Literally seems like monday all over again. Former nfl quarterback turned activist Colin Kaepernick defending the protesters earlier in the day tweeting we have the right to fight back. Every day im haunted as prey a song of innocence by 12yearold bryant resonating with millions. I just want to live a desperate plea and a hope that this time things will change this morning much calmer scene than what we saw overnight again, authorities on the scene trying to maintain order firefighters are trying to douse these flames but more protests are expected later today. Hoda. All right, gabe, thank you. Lets move to the latest on the coronavirus.
